Yale-New Haven Hospital

Competent Medical care at the highest possible price. They do everything they can to charge and re-charge from every possible angle. Negotiate your costs before any optional services and avoid the ER. We were charged 3500 dollars for 2 bags of IV fluid and 3 hours of bed time in the ER. It's a crime. more

With New Haven comes the hustle-and-bustle of a large city. Yale Hospital is no different. Granted, they are at the cutting edge of technology. They seem to have a great staff of knowledgable Doctors and Physicians. However, you won't get too much of a personalized treatment here. The hospital is large and confusing and although accomodating, it's overwhelming. The staff is pleasant, but you can tell they are overworked. Having to visit the hospital several times, staff hasn't always been receptive towards me asking for directions or being pleasant. Bottom line is that it's a great health care facility. It's not a smaller "hospital" but a large "business" being run, not to make friends. Parking is ample, but very scattered throughout the complex. It's very difficult to navigate between their buildings. more

With Yale being an Ivy League School, I assumed this hospital would just be something fantastic, which wasn't the case. Now, the only time I went there was on a maternity ward tour, but that was enough for me to decide I didn't want to deliver my child at the hospital. The tour guide was rude and abrupt, and didn't focus on the important concerns of impending motherhood. Rather, it appeared she couldn't wait to take her break or something. Parking was horrific and the only good thing about the visit was that there was a Dunkin Donuts on my way back to the parking lot. more
